ACTIVISION REVEALS CALL OF DUTY: GHOSTS INVASION AS THIRD EPIC DLC PACK FOR 2014,COMING FIRST, EXCLUSIVELY TO XBOX 3rd JUNE

Invasion DLC Pack Delivers Four New MP Maps and the
Next Chapter in Extinction’s Four-Part Episodic Storyline

More Unique Field Orders Debut in New DLC Pack, Including The Death Mariachi,
Anubis – the Half Jackal/Half Human Protector of the Dead and Ghost Pirates

Call of Duty® fans should mark their calendars and prepare for Invasion, as Activision and Infinity Ward today revealed the third massive DLC Pack for Call of Duty®: Ghosts. Launching 3rd June first, exclusively on Xbox Live for Xbox One and Xbox 360, Call of Duty®: GhostsInvasion delivers four new multiplayer maps from unique locales around the world, each with hidden secrets and unique Field Orders. Invasion also includes “Episode 3: Awakening,” the next thrilling chapter in Extinction’s four-part episodic narrative taking players deep into an alien underworld to discover the truth behind the Cryptid attack.

Invasion is available a la carte or as part of the Call of Duty: Ghosts DLC Season Pass, which gives fans access to all four epic Call of Duty: Ghosts DLC Packs** planned for release in 2014 – OnslaughtDevastation,Invasion and Nemesis.


Invasion’s four new small-to-medium-sized multiplayer maps feature the fast-paced gameplay Call of Dutyfans crave, each one donning a distinct look, feel and unique killstreak. “Departed” is a medium-sized map set in a rural Mexican town during the Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebration. The colourfully decorated streets, vendor carts and storefronts provide ample cover for run-and-gunners and players that complete the map’s unique Field Order will unlock the Death Mariachi killstreak. Armed with dual-wielding pistols, the Death Mariachi settles scores, with each kill turning enemy players into another member of the band and a temporary squad mate.


“Pharaoh” is the abandoned archaeological site of an ancient Egyptian palace. Players will have to be on the lookout for collapsing monuments and urns full of flesh-eating scarabs, among other surprises in this multi-level map. Inside the palace, gamers will battle through multiple chambers ideal for close-quarters combat and short-range weapons, all under the watchful eye of Anubis, the half-jackal/half-human, protector of the dead, who will handsomely reward players who unlock this map’s Field Order.

Invasion’s third map, “Mutiny,” transports players to a remote Caribbean island harbouring an eerie pirate hideout complete with abandoned trading posts and prison cells. Speed and stealth are a must as players navigate the narrow and intertwining pathways. However, let ye be warned that gamers taking up positions on the pirate ship moored in the centre of the map will become vulnerable to enemy fire from the numerous flanking routes created by the map’s horseshoe shaped dock. Players that unlock “Mutiny’s” Field Order will find themselves escorted by two ethereal ghost pirates, who will happily send enemy combatants down to Davey Jones’ locker on their behalf.


 Invasion’s fourth multiplayer map is a refreshed version of the fan-favourite map from Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® 2, “Favela.” Since its original release, the Brazilian shantytown has seen substantial change. Buildings once under construction are now complete, while others have crumbled into a state of disrepair. Players must avoid falling to their death as they traverse the map from one building to the next, with ramshackle scaffolding creating varied pathways between structures and enemy snipers taking advantage of the long sightlines. Players who complete the Field Order in “Favela” will be able to call in heavy air support from a nearby Y-8 Gunship to bring the rain with a 105mm cannon, a 40mm auto-cannon and a 25mm cannon.


Anchoring the Call of Duty: Ghosts Invasion DLC Pack is the next instalment in the game’s Extinction mode episodic narrative, “Episode 3: Awakening.” In Awakening, the team descends into the perilous alien underworld to strike at the subterranean fortress of the Ancestors – the mysterious puppet-masters behind the Cryptid invasion. Armed with a range of new hi-tech weapons and equipment, the team must penetrate a series of defensive barriers to reach the Ark and unlock the secrets of the Ancestors’ psychic powers. As the final battle draws closer, the fate of the Earth and the future of the human race hang in the balance.


Call of Duty: Ghosts Invasion will be available 3rd June first, exclusively on Xbox Live for Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft and the Xbox 360 games and entertainment system from Microsoft, with other platforms to follow. Call of Duty: Ghosts is rated PEGI 16. Call of Duty: Ghosts Invasion is published by Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) and developed by Infinity Ward.

“Our players have already vanquished more than 400 million plants and zombies, and we can’t wait for PlayStation gamers to add to this total,” said Brian Lindley, Producer on Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare. “They’ll see how accessible, yet deep, the gameplay is, and will get endless hours of fun out of the game.”

Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare lets players choose a side and wage an all-out war on their plant or zombie enemies in a variety of gameplay modes and with a jaw-dropping arsenal of outrageous weapons. The game features adored favorites in the series, such as the Peashooter and Sunflower, along with a new cast of characters including Ice Cactus, Hot Rod Chomper and all the Zombies players can get their hands on.


Players can jump into three distinct competitive multiplayer modes including two 12 vs. 12 modes called “Garden & Graveyards” and “Team Vanquish,” or a four-player co-operative mode called “Garden Ops.” Split-screen gameplay and Boss Mode will also be available on PlayStation 4.

An amazingly deep set of customization options gives players an opportunity to personalize plants and zombies with fun costumes, items, hats and more, some of which give all-new abilities to each of the characters.

SteelSeries Sensei Wireless Review.

As the deadline for this review loomed I suddenly panicked for two reasons, reason one: I would soon have to return this awesome piece of kit and reason two: I realised that I had spent so much time playing with the SteelSeries 'Engine' software, changing the colours that glow on the mouse and charge pad, that I had barely played any actual games to test its performance or usability. So with this realisation I broke out the energy drinks and settled in for a marathon gaming session.

Luckily I had a few new titles to test it out on and it did not disappoint. With a completely scalable CPI setting allowing you to choose two custom sensitivity settings within the companion software 'Engine' you can switch between the two on the fly, in-game, at any time with the press of a button - meaning when you need to whip across the screen fast to shoot Nazis in Wolfenstein: The New Order you can set it to high but for the frustrating lock-picking mechanic in the same game you can cut the sensitivity right down to make it much easier.

Design wise it is much sleeker than its main competitors and is also designed to switch easily to left handed mode. The aforementioned ability to completely customise the colours of the lights mean you can either leave it in battery monitor mode (Green for full, orange for dying, red for dead?!? I'm not sure it still hasn't died on me!) or colour match it to your beautifully lit custom built top of the line gaming rig.

Overall this mouse is easy to use, easy to set up, looks good and should the battery ever run low on you it can be converted into a wired mouse. A quick search on Amazon has them showing up at anywhere from £120 to £240 - so the big question is, is it worth the price tag? In short, No, not really not for a casual gamer like me but absolutely if you're a hardcore gamer.  I think I will wait until it drops in price a little, although it’s going to be hard I think I'm in love...

            Performance 9/10
            Usability 10/10
            Design 10/10
            Overall 9.5/10
